“The goal as a professional is to love what you do and to pledge to give back to the community which supports you.” -Christina Link, DPT Student

Our Mission

To provide high quality, pro bono physical therapy services to the medically underserved in the Gainesville community. The UF PT EAC serves as a vehicle for Doctor of Physical Therapy students to engage patient problems early in the curriculum, to foster a spirit of humanity and community service, and to develop clinical skills in a peer learning environment.

Who We Are

We are students of UF’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program. We provide treatment under the supervision and guidance of local, licensed Physical Therapists.

For Patients

Our relationship with you is reciprocally valuable. We are able to enhance our learning experience using a hands-on approach, while you receive quality care at no cost. You are seen by team of students who consult with a licensed Physical Therapist to develop a treatment plan. Then we discuss the plan with you and implement it under guidance of the licensed PT if necessary.

Funding for Treatment

UF Physical Therapy Equal Access Clinic is strictly not for profit. UF faculty, local clinicians, and Doctor of Physical Therapy students volunteer to provide effective patient care. The clinic is funded by donations and outside sources via a 5K race organized by the students each year in the Fall. This event is designed to raise funds and promote community awareness of the benefits of physical activity and the services Physical Therapy can provide.
